Please email me and let me know the point at which DFW won you over because I can tell it happened far later for you than for me. But on the other hand, it's a subtle distinction; the point at which the book clicked into place for me was not when I realized how deadly serious it is (which was probably some scene with Don Gately) but just when I became comfortable that DFW was not actually making fun of me for not being as hip as he seemed to be. Which was the Erdedy scene with the simultaneous ringing telephone/doorbell.
